Christmas.
When Instituted and How Honored-
It's Carols and Traditions.

When InStlCuC0Q ana how dOuOE6Q-
It's Carols and Traditions.
Few ceremonies of modern times
have so remote an original as the keep
ing of Christmas. In many instances
it has parted wide from the object of
its establishment, but in all instances
it has had many pleasing features
Christmas fable has become as frequent
and unique as the story of mythology.
Poetry has been evoked to add to the
zest and importance of the solemnity,
until all Christian nations have their
volumes of Christmas carols. The most
amusing and quaint lore that can be
found, refers to the celebration Of
Christmas. 1t is not to be regretted
that the conceits respecting the day
have been so numerous, that the occa-
sion has proven so prolific a source of
humors. They only serve to establish
the Importance of holiday of some
kind, and prove that relaxation from
toll conduces to play of the fancy.
The Mass of Christ (Christ-mas) is
attributed to Pope Telesphorus who died
A. D. 138. 1t was not only movable
festival when first instituted but the
most movable of all the festivals, SO
that among Eastern churches especially,
it was frequently confounded with
other festivals or feasts, as for instance
with that of Epiphany, and was cele.
brated as late as the month of April.
On account of this uncertainty, Pope
Julius l. at the solicitation of st. Cyri
Of Jerusalem, appointed commission

Gentlemen Callers for Pastime.

As to allowing gentlemen to call
merely as pastime there can be no seri-
Gus question raised. Every lady has
the privilege of choosing her company,
and if she finds among her gentlemen
acquaintances two or three who are able
to entertain her she certainly has the
right to encourage them to call. If,
however, she leads them to think that
she is in love with them, and is playing
for keeps, she will be doing wrong
No sensible lady would do this, but
would so conduct herself that the gen.
tlemen would understand that they were
merely calling for the pleasure there
was in it, and that whenever they found
something worthy of more serious at
tention they would be excused.

And Cousin John was shaking hands
with her, looking down into her eyes
ad talking to her, not at all embar-
rssed for Miss Verena Gillette's
hndsome cousin, who had just inheri-
I'd fortune, proved to be Janie's
liver, to whom she had been promised
br nearly two years.

gu home for your Christmas dinner,
lough it will be pretty late one
ret everything, he ordered, 'for you
re not coming back any more. And
ere's your Christmas present, JAMIE
'ut it on and wear it home
Miss Verena and her friends looked
tn'iously on as jamie unrolled her
christmas present-an ele ant sealskin
,oak, long enough to cover her from
cad to foot, shabby dress and all.

ing in the fireplace, and the red-pep
ers festooning the kitchen rafters, and
er tall lover watching her admiringly,
laking the pink cheeks grow pinker,
nd the blue eyes brighter, with every
lance.

yallow her chagrin as best she can,

Iriggs & Grimshawes' to do her fall
topping, or buy a new summer silk
ress.
